I've actually had the thing running and my students can't wait until
we get more. The difference in speed between this and a thin client is
beyond noticeable.
Here are the parts I used:
Foxconn A74ML-K 3.0 Socket AM3/ AMD 740G/ A&V&GbE/ MATX
Motherboard MB-A74MLK3 $43.99
Evercase E0526-S
While configuring autologin through
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
I noticed that autologin only works if you have the default stanza
populated with some key value pair, e.g.
[default]
VOLUME=70
[Mac address of client]
LDM_AUTOLOGIN=true
LDM_PASSWORD=X
LDM_USERNAME=station1
